A great cast give us a snapshot of the children and staff of a camp set up on the Calgarth Estate in Troutbeck Bridge, near Lake Windermere, England. Establishing a sense of safety was the goal but I did not like the burning of their clothes scene - showed a lack of understanding of their needs and experiences.
Teaching them English, re-creating a sense of connection and 'family' and consolidating their strengths led to many of them integrating beautifully into British Society with knighthoods, MBEs and olympians among them. The film portrayed the unique characters and gifts of each. A wonderful treasure was footage of the real people as Seniors at Lake Windermere.
